    When walking in the hospital for nearly any complaint, any women of procreating age is believed to be pregnant until proven otherwise!!! And sometimes even after being proven otherwise!! I once had horrible lower abdomen pain (which turned out to be ovarian cysts) and I had to take 3 pregnancy tests in 24 hours.

    It was a smart thing to do, mind you. But it became old by the third one...

    It's terribly annoying (and even borderline insulting at times) but the fact is that practitioners catch soooo many problems with this screening detail.
